Re: What type of ability does Monet have?

Well, there would be a difference between aokiji, being made of actual ice, and a snow user paramecia, who would simply be able to make snow and ice appear. Admittedly there are perhaps too many common points though.

Re: What type of ability does Monet have?

well i must have to say i am not so sure we can actually say monet has mythical zoan because just the appearence of her. since the ability to create barriers has nothing to do with harpy myth. and although oda usually names DF attacks by their respective types there are some that doesnt fall to that category. like nico robin her hana-hana no mi has nothing to do with actual flowers but a characteristic of flowers of sprouting. this could be the case for monet. where her fruit gives her the ability to create barriers (or maybe even attacking options) depending on the enviroment. like snow country - a snow hut.

On a more serious note, I like kkck's explanation. There hasn't been much of a serious explanation yet for things like Bepo, Pappug (and Pandaman???) and all kinds of weird things are supposed to exist in the New World too.

If its all from a devil fruit, I suppose it could also be something like a snowman fruit (a paramacia that can change into different forms made out of snow).

Articuno was actually what I had in mind here. I tried to find a mythical bird which would fit but the ones linked to articuno seemed hard to pronounce and hard to put into context (and I was too lazy to read the entire wikipedia entry).

poke poke no mi?

she can turn into the 3 legendary birds, but didn't do zapdos because she knew luffy was rubber, and didn't do moltres because she was a kind woman who knew about ace (a fire blast wouldn't have protected CC the way snow did anyway)

Re: What type of ability does Monet have?

monet has surely law's wings,as she wasn't an harpy when law first met her. about her DF,it should be a paramecha which enables the user to create snow,imo. snow was mentioned in her attack,that's the reason of my statement.

Re: What type of ability does Monet have?

You know, One Piece element natures are quite different than we actually think. Why Snow can't be strong if you can build Igloos with it? (?)

becouse igloos are built from ice i sayed that i dont understand fixation with snow because there wasnt anything to point to that direction it is far more possible that it is some form of concrete or that she simply build walls rather than snow...

@OXellos i have mountain home where is 2 meters of snow from october till march and in the city we have 500 cm of snow.. so i know my snow :P

actually igloos r made from hard snow.especially snow that is blown by extremely cold winds so they trap ice particals inside. 2.of all that snow also traps air holes inside so as to have a natural insulation. i dont know the degres u have on your hometown but there is a reason this type of building is usually used by Inuits living in
Canada's Central Arctic and Greenland's Thule area.the temperature is about as cold as -45 °C or there abouts.

actually the kamakura city u mentioned is on southeastish of tokyo and is a beach town. the kamakura talked in the manga probably drew inspiration from akita prefecture's kamakura festival. where snow huts are constructed similar to what monet made. also kamakura means snow hut.

it's actually translated in mangastream, and says snow hut

the mangareader/panda translation left this out and left me confused about where people got the 'snow' bit from

Actually, the same could be said about your argument really... what's the fixation with concrete type materials? I have noticed it was predicted Monet might have an ability related to snow long before this Kamakura business came up because of how Monet seemed uncomfortable and in harpy form while on the fire side of the island and was able to hide better with little to no cloths on the frozen side. Though I don't remember who's theory this was, I don't think it got much attention at the time but I distinctly remember reading it on the Discussion/Prediction thread weeks or months ago.

I'll address your earlier post too for consistancy :

Edit:
and as my second argument i will use Aokiji becouse ice and snow are two same things

You make a great point in favor of the concrete theory with the liquid turning into a solid. Although there are still plenty of other things that can have the same kind of properties ... wax, for example, was shown almost the same way when Mr. 3 used it and his candle wall was also similar in being liquid when used and hardening later... Mr. 3 being a paramecia. I also want to point out that wax itself isn't liquid at room temperature even though it's shown liquid when Mr. 3 produces it; so whatever Monet uses doesn't have to be something that can remain as both liquid and solid in room temperature.

As for ice vs. snow.... they are definitely not the same thing. This is the best way I can think of to explain it: When you make a snow sculpture, you take soft snow and pack it into a solid form. When you make an ice sculpture, you carve it with a hard sharp edge. Ice can't be shown as anything but a solid because it is specifically only a solid form of matter. Snow, on the other hand, could be described as a semi-solid or granular since it's composed of flakes packed together. And of course, snow starts to melt at room temperature as well .

Personally, I don't mind whichever way it turns out to be. But I hope this gives a better idea of why many of people think Monet's ability is snow related (even though it's just speculation).
